What’s that? You’ve never seen Larry David’s outrageous, misanthropic comedy “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which has won seven Emmy nominations and lots of critical love since its launch on HBO in 2000? No HBO subscription? No problem! TVland is bringing all the old episodes to basic cable, beginning with marathons on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16 and 17, from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. and Monday, Feb. 18 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The show will then settle into its regular daily timeslot, locally at midnight, beginning Tuesday, Feb. 19.

It will also be streamed online at TVLand.com[2]. Pretty, pretty good.

It is not pretty, pretty, pretty good. Condensing a very funny show down to 21 minutes and removing everything that makes it great is not good TV. No network should syndicate a show from a premium station only to butcher it.
